I mean, in what other way would he do it, than the single dumbest way imaginable?

He thinks this is a quick way to reduce the US's $40T debt. It won't.

    He doesn't give a shit about that.

    This is a way to squeeze the tech oligarchs for something. If they play ball, the tariff gets an exception for data centers, and they continue their plan to take technology away from the people of the United States and hoard it all and rent it back to us and monitor everything said and done on it

    If they don’t play ball he crushes America’s position in the AI race, for which he doesn’t care because his goal is the destruction of America as revenge for making him kill Epstein to keep the whole thing quiet

    He doesn't give one shit about the US debt and neither do the Republicans backing him.

    If the Dems ever get back in they will start screaming about it sure but why would they care about some made up number.

    The Epstein class can just go hang out on their yacht they are not patriots.

    True., but he is an emotionally delicate diva and I think he realizes that his approval is at the lowest level ever. He wants people to think he's great. Why else would he constantly post on social media and post cringe videos on Tiktok unironically?

    Why do you think he gives a fucking shit of a fuck about that? He doesn’t give a fuck. What action in the last 10 years makes you think he gives a single flying fuck about that? No don’t use his words. I can lie too. What action has he taken That makes you think for even a fucking iota of a fucking split second that he gives a fuck about that?

    Why is this 10 years in and we’re still having to tell people he lies? This is absurd at this point.

    Because he's a diva and WANTS to be liked. And he knows his approval ratings are at their lowest.

    I'm not saying this is absolutely what's happening. It's just my theory.

    And about the lying thing. I don't think he's lying most of the time, because I think he genuinely believes the things he says. TO BE CLEAR! I'm not saying he isn't a liar (he is), just that he truly believes the things he says.
